Exciting Opportunity for Backpackers! Join Our Team in Otematata, NZ!

Starting ASAP, we're on the lookout for an energetic and versatile individual — ready to take on a variety of hospitality roles at our country-style pub and hotel. We're seeking a commitment of at least a couple of months, with the potential to stay longer.

About You:

  • You're outgoing, have a positive attitude, and enjoy working with people.
  • You're eager to experience life in a beautiful part of New Zealand.
  • You're ready to pitch in wherever needed—whether it's housekeeping, bartending, restaurant service, or kitchen hand duties.
  • You value flexibility, teamwork, and the chance to grow your skills in a dynamic environment.
  • Previous experience in any of these roles is a plus, but the right attitude is what matters most!
  • Fluent English as guest interaction is high.

About Us: Our hotel is located in the charming rural township of Otematata, surrounded by stunning lakes and scenic landscapes. This is the perfect base for exploring the South Island, with ski fields, hiking trails, and more within reach. While we're two hours from Queenstown, day trips are totally doable—so if you want to be in the heart of Queenstown, this might not be the gig for you.

What We Offer:

  • Facilities: Our team accommodation is available at a subsidised rate - fully furnished with your own room.
  • Free Internet: Stay connected with friends and family.
  • Work Hours: A minimum of 30 hours per week.
  • Training: A good induction and the ability to work along side others who will assist in training.
  • Culture: Join a progressive, supportive team where our core values guide everything we do.

Our Core Values:

  • A sense of family in the workplace.
  • A thriving team environment.
  • Excellence in food, accommodation, and service.
  • A warm, welcoming stop for all.
  • Financial prudence.
  • Strong internal & external relationships.
  • Active community involvement.
  • A place to grow and learn.

If this sounds like the perfect adventure for you, we’d love to hear from you! Send us an application detailing your experience and why you’re excited about this opportunity.

Cheers!
